Debate on Budget and Royal Family Provision in Parliament
The House debated the budget and ways and means with ministers defending timing of votes. The Duke of Clarence grant was discussed as a royal provision, with supporters urging continuation of allowances and opponents citing equity and past conduct. The motion to grant £6000 per year, including arrears, passed after divisions, and related robbery bills were read a third time and passed.
